A newly released Southeast Polk school district boundary proposal would place 391 elementary students in new schools next fall, in an attempt to alleviate overcrowding at some facilities on the district’s west side.

Members of the Attendance Area Adjustment Planning committee have reviewed several scenarios during four meetings leading up to a public input meeting Monday at Southeast Polk High School.

Committee members reviewed the realignment scenario to be presented at Monday’s meeting earlier this week.

71 students would move from Willowbrook Elementary to Altoona Elementary.

63 students from Four Mile Elementary would move to Runnells Elementary.

41 students from Centennial Elementary would go to Mitchellville Elementary.

34 students from Runnells Elementary would attend Four Mile Elementary.

55 Clay Elementary students would be assigned to Centennial Elementary.

Five other students from Centennial and Willowbrook elementary schools would move to Clay Elementary.

One of the biggest changes in scenario 2b from previous realignment proposals is the elimination of the “island” of students. The students, from primarily low-income homes, currently ride the bus to Runnells Elementary School. Under previous scenarios, committee members said keeping those students at Runnells Elementary saved on transportation, improved income diversity and limited disruptions to neighborhoods.

Superintendent Craig Menozzi said in a phone interview that several realignment proposals could evolve from Scenario 2b depending on public input received.

The committee will take feedback gathered into consideration before it meets again March 25. Southeast Polk school board members are expected to take action on the committee proposals in April. “This map is not the final proposal and information is still being considered for various areas of this option,” district officials note on the website.

Monday’s public input session will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Southeast Polk High School auditorium, 7945 N.E. University Ave., Pleasant Hill.
